The cooperation style is focused on supporting its own party’s (EKRE) draft legislation and calling on other parties to join them (e.g., lowering the VAT on foodstuffs). There is no mention of seeking compromises with the ruling coalition; instead, the reversal of their decisions is demanded. It emphasizes the need to look for solutions, not reasons why something cannot be done.

The speaker primarily acts on behalf of the opposition (the EKRE faction), submitting joint interpellations and draft legislation. He/She refers to the protests and positions of other opposition MPs (e.g., Korobeinik, Helme), demonstrating collaboration in resisting the government. He/She is open to seeking consensus on matters of national importance (e.g., VAT on cancer medications, electoral rights), but finds cooperation with the government difficult or non-existent.
